Was flaky a few hours ago too when I tried logging on. Crashed three times in the 10 minutes I was trying to play then just quit accepting connections. I guess they got it back up, but now it's just flat down again. I didn't do it. Haven't done anything at all today! Hah.
P.s. Intersphere RP is evidently not encouraged.

Fixed a problem that has been causing a few of the recent crashes - it was the pesky greens and leaves! Big thanks to a player who was quick enough to report a problem when they saw it. Makes it so much easier to track down an issue if we get feedback from you guys.

If a game crashes when you're mid-craft, or when you are foraging, please petition up and give us some of the basic info - namely, which craft and what materials you used. Chances are that it was the craft crashing the game.

I don't always test my code.
But when I do I do it on the player port.
